Olik Family/Elerik Taim

Little is known about Elerik Taim. Distantly related to Trostian Olik, possibly through marriage, he is thought to have been born somewhere in Atamara - not Rustton or Abington at all, however. His exact lineage is not known, and his claim, if any, on the Olik Manor is surely unrecognized by the Abington Oliks.

At a very early age he is thought to have left his place of birth, beginning a years-long journey by ship, horse, donkey and foot, eventually landing in Arcachon in the Far East at the age of 25.

He is now described by others as large, standing well over six feet, broad-shouldered, with hard-chiseled but nonetheless noble facial and personality features. He can be seen wearing a well-worn black travelling cloak and leather leggings and padded tunic. It is unknown whether he is routinely armed. Somewhere in his mysterious journeying he acquired eighteen followers; fighters as well as commoners, swordsmen and peasant alike, whom he has referred to as the Seekers. Just what he, and they, are Seeking is unknown.
